The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Campaign Council for Ondo State Governorship Election, H EBabajide Sanwoolu, has warned the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) against rigging and intimidation of voters.
Sanwo-Olu gave the warning while speaking to reporters on Saturday at the party’s National Secretariat in Abuja. The Lagos state governor advised the opposition party not to waste its time and resources on winning the forthcoming election.
The Lagos state governor also asked the PDP and its governorship candidate, Eyitayo Jegede (SAN) not to bother to campaign due to APC’s popularity in the state.
He said that the people of Ondo State are ready to re-elect Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu for a second term, adding its candidate enjoys the endorsement of President Muhammadu Buhari and the party’s National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
He said: “The endorsement was not only his (Asiwaju Tinubu) endorsement but a collective endorsement. In this endorsement you saw Senator Borofice, you have seen our brother, Olusola Oke, you see meetings where Kekemeke was in attendance, you see meetings where Dr. Abraham was in attendance.
“After the party they all came together even before our choice of the National Council. In Ondo State, they have resolved their problem themselves and all of them said we are supporting the candidacy of Governor Rotimi Akeredolu; so it is a unified thing.”
The Chairman Caretaker/Extra-Ordinary National Convention Planning Committee and Governor of Yobe state, Mai Mala Buni, had earlier inaugurated the 104-member National Campaign Council for the Ondo State governorship election.
